I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

    Examples of local commands I might run in tmux could include anything long-running which is started from the command line. A virtual machine (qemu), perhaps, or a video encode (ffmpeg). Then if I need to log out or restart my GUI session for any reason—or something goes wrong with the session manager—it won’t take the long-running process with it. While the same could be done with nohup or systemd-run, using tmux allows me to interact with the process after it’s started.

    I also have systems which are accessed both locally and remotely, so sometimes (not often) I’ll start a program on a local terminal through tmux so I can later interact with it through SSH without resorting to x11vnc.

      Thanks for the comment. Long-running commands make a lot of sense.

      Do you happen to run your GUI session inside of a tmux session? If you log in and out, wouldn’t the tmux session inside of the user-session terminate?
